I have two sets of kebaya already at home in Bandung, but here in Bali I need another set to attend local religious ceremonies or other formal events. So I shopped for the materials around Kerobokan area and went to Mrs. Yoga, a kebaya tailor at Jalan Mataram, to make this lovely outfit I wore on the image above.

For this set, I spent:

• Rp  50,000 for the white upper cloth (kebaya)
• Rp  30,000 for the turquoise blue sarong cloth
• Rp  75,000 for the purple chest cloth
• Rp  45,000 for the blue-green nek/obi 
• Rp  40,000 for the tailoring fee.

I think it's pretty cheap to get such a lovely kebaya, don't you think? You can press the budget by buying cheaper chest cloth and the nek/obi (the one that tied around the hip). I bought the cheapest ones at the shop, and loving the colors so much!

By the way, I learned another Balinese language today.
Kangin : north
Kauh : south
Kaja : west
Kelod: east

I forgot the rest of the things I learned since two weeks ago, but I will post more when I remember them. Stay tuned!
